Intimate apparel company Jockey (sounds so much better than panty maker right?) is adding more underwear styles, color and fabrics this spring, which will make them a huge undergarment contender.
Let the panty wars begin!
Seriously though, I got the privilege of participating in an online fashion show with style expert Jenn Falik and Jockey Designer Miryha Fantegrossi getting a sneak peek at Jockey’s Spring 2012 line (available now).
I thought I would write a post on it because we often focus on what to wear on the outside, but how we feel and look can start underneath the pants, shirts, boots and coats. So here are the lingerie items that I thought were the coolest, prettiest and functional-est from the fashion show.
Some things that caught my attention was a “stay cool” product that regulates your body temperature. Tanks, tees, and camis that warm you up three degrees when it is cold outside and cool you down three degrees when it is hot outside. What sealed the deal for me was the fact that the tops were also reversible to make it either v-neck or crew neck to give you different silhouettes. Totally layer-able too.
Jockey has new lacey gear too, which they have not been known for. They are known, however, for comfort so they really wanted to make sure they did it right. Looks like they did. Soft lace, full coverage in the seat so you don’t get the panty wedgies, with girlie detailing that adds a great feminine expression.
Another funky Jockey product I liked was the new “Skinny Slip Short”. It looks like shape wear but it is really just underwear to give you a slip-like, smooth texture under clothes. Great to wear under a pencil skirt – another a big style trend this spring – and you definitely don’t want to see those panty-lines under that.
Lastly, I loved what Jockey calls the Vintage Brief. Think Grannie panties without the Grannie part. More like 1950s Mad Men kind-of glam. So if you are a full coverage panty girl, they have a up-to-date option without looking like grandma with its technical contour and super cute fabrics.
Jockey’s existing collection has also gone through a upheaval too with new colors (pastels are big for spring – even in underwear), patterns, camisoles that have larger straps to hide bra straps, and a longer length for layering.
So a great New Year’s resolution is to clean out your underwear drawer and buy some pretty, femimine panties and camisoles to spruce up your look. (Even if it is only you that knows -wink, wink.)
(Note: They have a sale going on right now in their online store, plus a discount for another 10% off.)
